He looked over at the three. "Oh, hey girls." He said and looked at Applebloom.

He watched as Sweetie pushed her over to me and whispered something in her ear and she whispered back. I remembered the question she wanted to ask Apple Bloom and I blushed.

"Oh my gosh, she said kissing you was- mmph." Apple Bloom covered her mouth to prevent her from revealing her answer.

"No go on, let her talk." Apple Bloom let go as if she were in a trance and I was confused on what happened.

"She said kissing you was the most amazing feeling she had!" She said with a squealing action. I looked at Apple Bloom with a smug look.

"Really?" I said chuckling to myself. She nodded staring at my arms. I looked around and motioned for Scoots and Sweetie to leave and they did giggling. I picked up Apple Bloom.

"So how good was this fe-" I was cut off when I felt our lips touch. My heart raced as fast as it could. I couldn't help myself as I hugged her while we kissed. She released and we smiled at each other, looking into each other's eyes.

"Um, does this make us... something special?" She asked and I answered immediately.

"Oh buck yeah!" I said pulling her into another kiss. We stood there for a while until we were pulled apart by an "AWWW!" in unison. We turned to see Scoots and Sweetie and they giggle and we kissed each other again before I set her down and we went into the clubhouse. The CMC Sat at a table and started discussing cutie marks, but my favourite filly was looking off. She snapped out of it when Scoots waved a hoof in front of her face. Scoots looked at me and winked and I smiled back at her.

//Shining Armour\

I woke up and saw a lamp hanging above me. I also saw my little sister and my wife. My wife hugged me and told me how worried the my were about me. I looked at Twilight and she nodded.

"The beast you were fighting knocked you out with some sort of laser from its shoulder. I looked at every single book in the Crystal Empire's library, including my own, I couldn't find a thing about it. I was thinking we could get the human to give us answers but we don't know where is." She said looking at me.

"I need to defeat it." I said with a grunt and my wife, Princess Cadence, laid me back down. "We will handle this, you rest." She said with a smile as they walked out the door.

//Twilight\

They looked around Ponyville, asking different ponies on if they knew where the humans were if they had seen him. They soon came across Fluttershy and Applejack. They asked them and Applejack replied.

"Y'all mean Jake? He's with mah sister at their clubhouse, they're all friends now." She said and led us to them. We saw Jake standing in the middle of the area behind three fillies pondering on an answer for a cutie mark in question answering.

//Jake\

"Um, Saturday?" Asked Scoots.

"Wrong, the answer was 3." Me, Sweetie and Bloom burst out with laughter to her answer on 2 + 1.

"Um, excuse me?" Said a familiar voice. I turned around and saw Twilight and Applejack with two other ponies he hadn't known.

One was pink and majestic like the princesses, but looked younger. The other was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. They looked at each other and then at me.

"My name is Princess Cadence, we are going to ask you to come with us."

He walked into the hospital room and saw the guard that helped him from before, in the torture chamber. I watched as Bloom hugged my head while she was on my shoulders. I sat down in a chair as I saw the other ponies I had met, Rainbow, Rarity, AJ, Pinkie (who was restrained), Twilight, and Fluttershy. The princesses were there also.

"What's going on?" I asked and I supposed Bloom was wondering two when I her jump down onto my lap and lie down.

"Jake, remember the monster that attacked mah sister at school?" I nodded. "Well..." Said Princess Luna. "We were wondering if you knew anything on it."

I felt nervous as all eyes turned on me. I sighed and looked at Shining. "You helped me, I'll help you." I said then looked at Princess Cadence. "Its something I call a predator, it hunts people and I guess ponies, and kills them, like it did your brother, and your guards." I said looking down at my girlfriend who was looking at me.

"It hunts for fun." I looked up. "It skins it's prey and takes its skull, then hangs it in a tree." I said as I heard multiple gasps and sighed.

"When will it stop?" Asked Princess Celestia.

"It doesn't stop until it's satisfied." I said raising my voice hearing a gasp from Twilight. "I'm sorry."

"Its ok, any other information?" Asked Princess Cadence.

"Very little, it has a cloaking device, shoulder cannon, and wrist blades it uses for killing. Thermal vision helps it see through darkness, smoke, and its mask." Everyone exchanged glances.

"Anyway to kill it?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

I smiled as I answer, "Yes, it kills prey one by one, and we will use it to our advantage." They all looked at me, including the CMC.
